brown the chancellor of the exchequer in the u.k. when he was that that role sold off half the country's gold around to $2.00 and $50.00 an ounce they actually believe that having that rolling that over into treasury bills or paper was a superior idea that of course even if you're only getting half a percent on your paper treasury paper is better than any return on the gold well since the time we've seen actually paper going to make it of rates in europe so they're made of rates obviously are the last than even a 0 percent rate and the appreciation of gold against all this paper money would also make that argument quite dead on arrival because it's outperforming all these other paper assets yet but as we have said the us weaponize and the dollar weaponized in this which sifts the swift system that that would cause you can only use that once perhaps twice and ease it twice you're gone or this thing is you're you're not going to be able to come up they'll turn to stephen utian is now agreeing with us he's obviously watching for it this

consensus moment was when gordon brown sold half of britain's gold at the rock bottom price of $250.00 an ounce sense the time gold has swung from being out of favor to being in favor to the point where last year central banks for the 1st time were net buyers of gold in a big way and now they're just ratcheting up either their gold purchases or gold repatriation i think at an alarming rate if you want to look at the progress or the product prognosis for free up money going forward it's not good if all these countries are scrambling like mad to get their gold back and to buy more gold of course the unite the bloomberg news has been reporting on the entirety of the eastern europe including hungary poland and they're saying that these governments are absurd for asking for their gold back these are populist movements and they should stop this but you know i think this is part of the trend that we've seen since 2016 especially really kicked into gear is that this absence of trust in the status quo what we've had for the past 40 years since 1971 since neo liberalism was allowed to be unleash

brown's are no move as the equivalent of the dumb member gordon brown who is the chancellor of the exchequer the eye kingdom sold off half their goal that a global all time low for gold prices yet the same thing is like actually commodity prices there are all time lows as well so why sell off this precious resource of the amazon which you'll never be able to get back again but it is a sort of resource that you could extract. income for generations to come the current kind of mentality though of the ruling class aims not going down that they need i guess in the leadership circles here in brazil some body to come along and say hey you know you have a greater opportunity here in this rain forest and just shopping the trees down you can actually get involved at a much higher margin business and you can become a global leader and develop some global brands i mean there's not a lot of aside from the flow. flops there are lots of flip flops there and i have like 5 pair now that i gave and that's the only brazilian brand i'm not i've got to be honest yes there's only in knots but ratings agency s. a

of course this is down where gordon brown sold all of britain's gold and remember we talked about that last episode of course also since 2000 you can see something in the charts and again correlation doesn't necessarily equal cause ality but one does see and charts around the world particular for the us that the us empire is the climbing since 2000 and you see the rich tear away from the rest of the u.s. you know citizen the top 0 point one percent i'm particularly have just run off of everything since you know 2000 since the introduction of the commodity futures modernization act in the end of last eco and then $911.00 which allowed the theft of chileans of dollars from the defense department and chileans war from the fed reserve by printing money for them so you've had that kind of the decline the beginning of the science at the decline of the u.s. empire and so that gold accumulation than gold the rise in gold prices is also due to other nations as we've covered extensively over the past few years russia china other countries turkey hungary poland's just repatriated their gold from

so, 232 in 2015 and labor 258 under gordon brown in 2010. so those two actually in 2017 and proved on both of them but the thing that was different was gordon brown has the scottish seat. they came in, his own seat and by that phase we haven't had that great of a revival. ed miller band didn't hav didn'. let's try to search now for a figure as low as the one mr. corbin has done tonight. if we go back 1992, lost against john major even than 271. okay he was banking all those seats but still a long way ahead. 87, under the alternate again, 229 seats so a very low figure but still nowhere near as well as mr. corbin has been tonight. let's have a look at michael foot in 1983 on 209. pretty much the result we look liklike we're getting tonight fm jeremy corbin. this was resulted as a dreadful election as a way it ushered in tony blair in the manifesto that was famously district i descripe longest suicide in history, while they've done it again this is the same kind of defeat in fact you have to go back to 1935 to find the worst one. later there w

brown in 2010 — and it looks like very poor judgement by bbc news, doesn't it? so all of these leaders' debates that you have been referring to should be taken as a set of programmes. this is the leaders debate. six days before the election. on the question time special, you had jo swinson and nicola sturgeon, jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson in one programme. jo swinson has also been involved as well in special programmes to do with the election. when it comes to who appears in the prime ministerial debate, we compare, or we test our output, against the result in 2017. in that election, 80% — more than 80% of the votes — went to the conservative party or the labour party. and that fashions the way we look at how we build our programmes. i hear what you say, but viewers will say, "look, it doesn't matter how many other programmes you have of other leaders, the bbc is promoting this as the big one, it is six days ahead of the election." we are not saying it is the big one. it is a very important moment. the prime ministerial debates? there are many, many differ

brown 25 years ago. thank you very much, faisal islam, our economics editor. heavy rain is causing major disruption for thousands of people embarking on a christmas getaway. road and rail journeys are being disrupted in parts of southern england on one of the busiest travel days of the year. both the railway line and the m23 motorway between london and brighton were closed because of flooding while a landslide near guildford caused further problems. tolu adeoye reports. this is what heavy rain overnight has led to in the surrey, a landslip this morning near guildford causing major disruption along the main railway line. flooding is effecting travel across the south—east of england with delays and cancellations for many passengers. we have a number of problems. we have four or five landslips across the whole of the region and in addition we have multiple flooding sites. 0bviously addition we have multiple flooding sites. obviously the worry we have at the moment is the extreme rainfall we have already e

let's let the other sort of project elements who was advisor to both their promises 10 tony blair and gordon brown and now mary diversity in and i'm sorry obviously you know the party very well absolutely catastrophic for jeremy corbyn his his his belief that the people could see past brick sets and this transformative agenda for right wealth redistribution and things like that and at the very people he was trying to make that appeal to just turn the backs and complicated what was that you think yeah i mean i think it's a humiliating defeat for the labor party we should not forget but it's not just the scale of the result last night in which labor was very heavily defeated as you say across large swathes of the country it's also the context in which the defeat comes we've had 10 years nearly of conservative government the economy has not been performing very successfully boris johnson himself interesting the his ratings were fairly poor throughout the election campaign he's not particularly popular leader and yet labor in germany where there's a little bit well i think what it says is that t

i am speaking today in the same room in which gordon brown first made the bank of england independent, 22 years ago. it is striking that even at a time when there are very different views on there are very different views on the best way to run our economy, all parties agree that the independence of the bank of england is essential toa of the bank of england is essential to a strong economy. the appointment of the governor of the bank of england transcends party politics. what matters is that we appoint someone what matters is that we appoint someone who can make the right decisions for british businesses and families, and do so over the long term. andrew bailey has the experience, the record and the character to dojust experience, the record and the character to do just that. he experience, the record and the character to dojust that. he is without doubt the best candidate for the job and i am very much looking forward to working with him over the years to come. thank you very much. i will take some questions. from the media, i have three people down, ed conway first, please. thank y

and the financial crisis, nine yea rs on brown and the financial crisis, nine years on from gordon brown being prime minister. so there is no doubt that those reputations were problems but it is conceivable that, with more yea rs but it is conceivable that, with more years to go a a more debt —— new leader who is more credible, from the centre of the left, they could make those policies work. so, from johnson's point of view, what are the questions that he should be looking at? you can see where boris johnson has gone, the north, and they clearly know that a lot of these voters probably wavered over crossing the box for the tories. it is not a solid voting coalition, but the conservatives have a chance now to persuade them they can hold onto them, so the nhs will be key, showing progress in showing that the conservatives can be trusted with the nhs, education will be possible, desperate important, brexit, and immigration. the conservatives will have to show they have delivered an numeration system that works for them. how much is the personality of them. how much is the personality o

brown and he was saying that the courts had no option but to release those men con early because of legislation passed in 2008 now that is not strictly true there are various ways in which the particulars of who's been caught on the case appeal and sentencing have filtered into legislation passed by numerous different governments including the conservatives conservative governments of the last 10 years but he obviously feels boris johnson that in the last stages of this campaign he has to show that this is not something that conservatives are responsible for and that they can still be viewed as the party of law and order where the voters will buy that or not is a matter that will have to wait until december the 12th to find out he's mainly up against jeremy corbyn the labor party leader what's mr corbyn been saying about this this morning. well he has said the reason why britain has a terrorism issue is because of foreign policy decisions like going to war in iraq and that it is that that is creates is the. problems within muslim communities in the u.k. who feel aggrieved like brita

brown is happy very close trade relationship with the saudis and have been careful unlike the germans not to upset the saudis diplomatically. they don‘t want to upset the trade, but also intelligence sharing, debut iran is an enemy, so the —— they both view iran as an enemy. the foreign office has been weak in its condemnation, they are hoping it will all go away. that is the stronger statement we can expect from them on this. i do not think this will be the end of it. another key government... what the us does, but some of the points you make about the us —— uk government also applies to america. we haven‘t spoken about the reaction of mr khashoggi‘s family. we haven‘t spoken about the reaction of mr khashoggi's family. yes, i think there will be some pretty urgent consultations going on. whether they knew this verdict was coming or not, they will be under great pressure to accept the verdict. it is possible under saudi law that they could be asked if they wa nt to law that they could be asked if they want to receive compensation, blood money. if you remember years ag

but maybe that is no bad thing, because one of the problems you had, i think, after 2010 when gordon brown lost and ed miliband took over, and even to some extent although to a lesser degree, with jeremy corbyn, there was no real profound soul—searching about what is the labour party for and what is it trying to achieve. it is easy to plonk a new leader in place and think that will sort it. most in labour will now concede they are facing very fundamental questions about how they re—engage with their traditional supporters while still hanging on to their new supporters, younger supporters, metropolitan supporters, and i think there is a question about what is the labour party four, who will it address itself to and where does it look to find space to be a potential government. they are profound questions that will not be sorted out ina questions that will not be sorted out in a three—month leadership campaign. it's a long of rebirth. looking at it from the point of view of people like you, your life in westminster will get in some ways, when this bed is in, a little less interes

brown now it's a bit of a stretch to go that far certainly because the circumstances by which has been a car and was out on automatic early release are a confluence of various different things that particularities of his case legislation from labor but also of the conservative party in recent times as well you can hear how boris johnson was putting this to andrew marr on the b.b.c. andrew marr show earlier on today. i think this whole system of automatic early release which was brought in by labor it was under and it was under that system half the tenure of that i've only been in office for other projects so i. was one of the terms as well as wearing body has been perfect one of the reasons we're having this election is because we have a queen's speech that was blocked by parliament amongst other things not least breaks it and we need to get it done so that we can move forward i think it's ridiculous i think it's repulsive that individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only 8 years and that's he why we are going to change the law. so if it is a stretch to

ed miliband got 232 in 2015 and 258 under corbin —— gordon brown said jeremy corbyn improved on both of them but the thing that was different was, gordon brown had the scottish seats which came in p.m., scottish seats which came in p.m., scottish leader, his own seat and by that stage, we hadn't had that great snp revival. ed miliband didn't have that. if we go back to neil kinnock, 1982, even then, 271. he was spanking all those scottish seeds but still ahead. 1987, another defeat. very low figure. still nowhere near as low figure. still nowhere near as low as mr corbyn has been denied. michael foot, in 1983, on 209 is pretty much the result we are getting tonight. this was regarded as an absolutely dreadful election. ina way as an absolutely dreadful election. in a way it ushered in tony blair. the manifesto was described as the longest suicide note in history. well, they have done it again. you have to go back to 1935 to find was one. after the war, they then had some years as leaders. he made some progress in this election but we had to go back to 1985 and atley was a ca reta ker

brown took over as prime minister and had to deal with the fallout from the financial crisis. a hung parliament, the first since the 70s, was the result of the 2010 election. david cameron, supported by nick clegg, in a conservative lib dem coalition which lasted five yea rs. dem coalition which lasted five years. it was a surprise to many when mr cameron won the election in 2015 with a modest majority. he stuck by the party's manifesto promise to hold an eu referendum. the leave campaign was led by boris johnson and the uk voted for brexit. mr cameron was on the losing side and he resigned, replaced by theresa may, who called a snap general election in 2017, leading to another hung parliament. the second female prime minister but certainly not the last. the 2019 election was framed by borisjohnson last. the 2019 election was framed by boris johnson has last. the 2019 election was framed by borisjohnson has a chance to get brexit done. this election has been won by the conservatives. the conservatives winning areas that had been labourfor conservatives winning areas that had b

i remember gordon brown was in there for a long time. i think on this occasion, i would expect it would be fairly short. but you can never tell. we will stay here and see what happens. for now, back to you, emily. thank you. there is something remarkable isn't there, i should say, we are with michael fallon. and another guest who have documented many of the last prime ministers. there is something remarkable about the fact that in this digital age the two of them will go into a room and no one will know exactly what is said there. the there is no note faking. there is —— no note taking. there is no documentation and we assume complete privacy on the part of both. absolutely. well, there wasn't quite complete... confidentiality when borisjohnson first complete... confidentiality when boris johnson first went to see the queen and his aides linked what she said to him leaked that she said to him. ithink said to him leaked that she said to him. i think he has learned his lesson from that. it is remarkable, her first conservative prime mi

the thing that always gets bandied around as the time that it took to choose a leader, after gordon brown went, and it took something like three months and during that time, the conservatives set the agenda. that's a particular concern right now because as katie says, he's got this really confident tory party. boris johnson has basically achieved what previous leaders can only dream of. going into labour heartlands. the point as well is that, if he can keep those mps, then that really changes the landscape, long term. he was very conscious, i think of that, when he gave a speech in downing street talking about people going to the ballot box with the voices of their parents and grandparents in their parents and grandparents in their ears. i think that means that he knows that he has to listen to those people. if he can do that, he can change the situation for ever. which is why labour know they can't afford to hang around, to have some more deep soul—searching, more conversations amongst themselves. a period of reflection and the labour happy -- period of reflection and the labour happy

john brown gordon was one of the commanders. gordon fought throughout the eastern theater. he was shot five times at antietam. shot off his horse, shot through the face. he never faced the camera on his left side because of his eye. he said the battle at monocacy was the sharpest fight he was in. breckenridge was one of the commanders. mccausland and his cavalry. -- ramseur andds rhodes. ofstarted on the morning july 9, which was extremely hot. all of the accounts, the troops mark how hot. you know how it can be in july, probably in the 90's and really humid. confederate troops were on the march since june 13, it is now july 9. it was a very sharp fight. battle to takelt interstate-- today 270 goes through the middle of it. it didn't back then, if i am correct. 355 does and did. you are going to get a good look at it. the battle raged all day from 9:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. early was not on the field of battle at first. he was extorting money from the city founders at frederick. by the way, early did not want to engage the troops. his orders were to threa

the celtics up eight, gordon hayward grabbed the rebound and brown gets the ball and throws it down for a dunk. brown had 30 points. fourth quarter, celtics up 19, hayward hits the pass and finds brown in the corner for the three. the celtics beat the raptors 118-102. >>> joel embiid and the 76ers were in the christmas spirit hosting the top team in the league, the bucks. rie 76ers up 11, josh hrarhas a double- double with 31 points and 11 rebounds. third quarter, 76ers up 15, al finish with a dunk. eflbud anr 76ers win 121-109. the 49ers have the day off but they hope to unwrap a win sunday against the seahawks. so much is on the line on sunday including the number 1 seed in the nfc. if the 49ers win, they will get a first round bye and home- field advantage. the 49ers have had trouble beating the seahawks especially in seattle. last win came in december 2011. kyle shanahan says that has no impact on the team's mentality going into the game. >> i don't think players get caught up in that stuff much. we know the team we are going against. we saw them earlier this year. we've got to stud

brown. you have foreign ministers, finance. the point is to bring together people who seem to have been separated from young people that are out in the streets screaming, where are the adults. >> exactly. >> we are trying to bring the adults to the table. >> here they are. >> we are trying to get it done. we have to change the entire discussion on climate change. a lot of people think, oh, it is ice melting up north, it is not going to affect me. folks, american citizens are dying of climate change already. mudslides, fires, floods, droughts, farms are being destroyed. we spent $265 million cleaning up after three storms two years ago, one of the storms, harvey, dropped more houston on five days than goes over niagara falls in an entire year. >> let me stop you there, mr. secretary. >> yes. >> i remember i was with a republican, i got once every five year. i was with a hard-core republican about four or five years ago, and he works for an insurance company. he is an executive at an insurance

he also served as security minister in gordon brown's government. it used to be said of the nato alliance, you will remember this just as well as i do, or better, that its purpose was to keep the americans in, the russians out, and the germans down. 70 years on, is its purpose clear? i think what i would first say is that its initial purpose was achieved wonderfully, apart from keeping the germans down, which i didn't really agree with anyway, but it basically stopped world war iii, it's stopped the soviet plans for invasion of western europe and it ensured victory in the cold war, which allowed eastern europe to become free countries from out from under the soviet yoke. it then went through a difficult patch, i had to rewrite the intelligence documents at the end of the cold war for nato, and people wonder, where will it go? amazingly, that shows what a resilient organisation it is, it did find a new role in the new world, which is very chaotic, looking at terrorist issues as well. the only time that article five has been called into operation was

brown, michael heseltine, and all the other politicians associated with them, it is over, they are gone now. brexit is over, they are gone now. brexit is happening. and the conservative party that now has this majority is very different from the previous conservative party. it is less metropolitan. it is less southern. it is less bourgeois. it is now more working class, more northern, more provincial, more small towns and cities. so, that is a new establishment coming in and you'll hear all sorts of different accents, and labour might have lost mr corbyn albert corbyn is still thinks it has a grip on that party. that is a different establishment as well so we move into a new power structure in this country and as i look at elections, until tonight, there have been to make transformative elections in modern times. one was 19a5, the attlee government. the other was 1979, the arrival of margaret thatcher. we can now add a third to it which is the election of 2019. great having you with us, andrew, and we will see you later on. andrew neil has been with us throughout the night. the other an

brown in 2010 — it looks like very poorjudgement by bbc news, doesn't it? so all these leaders' debates which you've referred to should be taken as a set of programmes. this is the leaders debate, six days before the election. ..so as i say, on question time — on the question time special, you had jo swinson, nicola sturgeon, jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson in one programme. jo swinson has also been involved in many other special programmes to do with the election. when it comes to who appears in the prime ministerial debate, we compare, or we test our output, against the result in 2017. and in that election, 80% — more than 80% of the votes — went to the conservative party or the labour party, and that fashions the way we look at how we build our programmes. i hear what you say, but viewers will say, "look, it doesn't matter how many other programmes you have with other leaders, the bbc is promoting this as the big one. it is six days ahead of the election." we're not saying it is the big one. it is a very important moment. the prime ministerial debat

norm gordon's teen of aei, michael steele, former chair of the rnc. brown a common, evoked to latina, and jesse wagon, new york times editorial board. i was looking back at the states that were visited most by donald trump in the last election. not surprisingly it was ohio and north carolina, florida, pennsylvania, of course democrats wish that hillary clinton had visited wisconsin a bit more. the first question would be, if we did change the system, and norm, i'll start with you, what would be the impact of campaigns and their strategy? >> so, as you mentioned, bob, they visited the large speed it dates and i was kind of amused when senator kramer of north dakota defending the electoral college said this would make north dakota irrelevant. well, guess what? when it comes to presidential politics, north dakota is totally irrelevant right now. but let's say we had a presidential election that is looking awfully close in terms of popular votes. then every vote would count and candidates would have an incentive to try and maximize the turnout even in pla
